Ideal location for visiting the Lake District and the Scottish Borders. These two attractive holiday lodge chalets (refs B5697 and 30250) have been furnished and equipped to a very good standard. Tucked away in a very pleasant position, they are two of a small group of eight chalets, which sit on the National Park boundary; with peaceful rural views across the local countryside towards Skiddaw. They are conveniently situated just off the A595 Cockermouth to Carlisle road, making it an excellent choice for guests wanting easy access to the Northern Lake District and the Scottish Borders. Cockermouth is 5 miles, Keswick 12 miles and Carlisle 18 miles. Beach 8 miles. Shop and restaurant 6 miles, pub 1 mile.
Free WiFi
There are 3 external steps to the small, wooden terrace. Extra care may be required, especially with young children. The height of the horizontal railings on the terrace and the external steps at this property are less than 1m and the gaps between the railings are more than 10cm, therefore extra care maybe needed if you have small children in the party.
The freezer is in the outside shed. Smoking allowed outside only.
Suitable for up to 2 pets
